INSTALLATIONInstallation OverviewWhen choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of factors thatshould be taken into account before beginning the installation.1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed in a locationwhere it is out of the way of normal travel through the home.2. Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way heat movesthroughout your home. Install the stove where you need the heat; basementinstallations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to the upper floors and a topfloor installation will not allow any heat to reach the floors below. Always considerthat heat rises and will take the path of least resistance while it is still hot.3. Exhaust Location – The engine which drives a wood stove is the chimney system, soit is important to consider precisely how the chimney system will be integrated intothe stove installation. Ideally, a wood stove chimney will run completely verticalfrom the flue collar of the unit all the way to the termination point above the roofline. Keeping the entire chimney system inside the heated envelope of the homewill ensure a strong, easy to initiate draft in the chimney. Although exterior chimneysystems often function properly, they are more likely to suffer from cold down draftsat start up or provide weak draft to the unit. Also, consider the cross‐sectional areaof the chimney; although existing masonry chimneys can often be used, a largeexternal masonry chimney will result in a unit that is difficult or impossible tooperate properly. In that case, an insulated chimney liner will often be required tosupply the necessary draft.4. Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can pass betweenstuds will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to reframe any sections ofthe wall or ceiling to accommodate the wall thimble or ceiling box.Page | 6WARNING• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in thevicinity of this or any other appliance.• Do Not Over‐fire – If any external part starts to glow, you are over‐firing.Reduce intake air supply. Over‐firing will void your warranty.• Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified.Failure to comply may result in a house fire.• Tested and approved for cordwood only. Burning any other fuel willvoid your warranty.

INSTALLATIONVenting IntroductionThis wood stove operates on anatural draft system, in which the chimneysystem pulls air through the stove. This unitmust be installed in accordance with thefollowing detailed descriptions of ventingtechniques; not installing the stove inaccordance with the details listed here canresult in poor stove performance, propertydamage, bodily injury or death. Avoidmake‐shift compromises when installing theventing system. England’s Stove Works isnot responsible for any damage incurreddue to a poor or unsafe installation.Be certain that all aspects of theventing system are installed to the ventingmanufacturer’s instructions, particularly therequired clearances to combustibles. Also,be certain to use an attic radiation shield toprevent insulation from contacting achimney which passes through an attic.The chimney system is the “engine”which drives a wood stove, so it isimperative for proper unit function that theventing system be installed exactly asdescribed in the following section.If questions arise pertaining to thesafe installation of the stove, our TechnicalSupport line (800‐245‐6489) is available.Contact your local code official to be certainyour installation meets local and nationalfire codes, and if you’re uncertain abouthow to safely install the stove, we stronglyrecommend contacting a local NFI certifiedinstaller to perform the installation.Venting Guidelines• ALWAYS install vent pipe in strictadherence to the instructions andclearances included with yourventing system.• DO NOT connect this wood stove toa chimney flue which also servesanother appliance.• DO NOT install a flue pipe damperor any other restrictive device in theexhaust venting system of this unit.• USE an approved wall thimble whenpassing through a wall and a ceilingsupport/fire stop when passingthrough a ceiling.• INSTALL three sheet metal screws atevery chimney connector joint.• AVOID excessive horizontal runs andelbows, as both will reduce the draftof the venting system and will resultin poor stove performance.• INSPECT your venting system often,to be certain it is clear of creosote,fly‐ash and other restrictions.• CLEAN the venting system asdetailed in the maintenance sectionof this manual.• ADHERE to the 10‐3‐2 rule regardingchimney terminations.• INSTALL single wall chimneyconnector with the male end downto prevent creosote leakage. Followdouble wall chimney connectormanufacturer’s instructionsregarding proper pipe installation.WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns iftouched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.Page | 8

INSTALLATIONAdditional Venting Information• Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when assemblingyour venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a thimblefrom another).• We require a minimum chimney height of 15.0 ft. Chimney systems shorter than thismay not create the amount of draft which is required to operate this wood burning unit.• Do not use makeshift compromises when installing the venting system; have existingchimney systems inspected before use and be certain all new chimney systems areinstalled to the manufacturer’s specifications and with only UL listed components.• Prefabricated venting systems used for this stove must be listed to ULC S629 (Canada)and UL 103HT (US).• Never install a draft inducer or any other system which increases the natural draft of thechimney; similarly, do not install a barometric or stovepipe damper with this unit.• Never use single wall or double chimney connector as a chimney system; never passeither type of chimney connector through a combustible wall without carefully followingthe manufacturer’s instructions and those listed in the following page on Wall Pass‐Throughs. NEVER pass chimney connector through an attic, floor, closet or roof.• Only use 24 gauge MSG black single wall chimney connector or UL Listed double wallchimney connector.Single Wall Chimney Connector InstallationThe male end of single wallchimney connector isinstalled facing down so thatany liquid creosote in theflue will run into the unitinstead of onto the outsideof the pipe (the natural draftin the chimney system willprevent smoke leakage atthe joints).Flue Gas DirectionCrimped or male end ofsingle wall chimneyconnector must face down.Fasten each single wallchimney connector jointwith three sheet metalscrews.WARNING• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.• HOT!

[PartNo. AC‐OAK5]• If it is not feasible to use the AC‐OAK5 outside air hookup kit in your stove installation, othermaterials may be used, provided the following rules are followed:oooClass A Chimney SystemRoof Flashing and Storm CollarJoist Shield/FirestopMobile Home Approved DoubleWall Chimney ConnectorUse silicone to create a vaporbarrier where the chimney passesthrough to exterior.The pipe used for outside air hookup must be metal, with a minimum thickness of .0209in.(25 gauge mild steel) or greater and an inside diameter of approximately 4.25in.Keep pipe runs short and use a mechanical fastener at each pipe joint.A screen or other protection device must be fitted over the outside air termination point toprevent rain, debris and nuisance animals from entering the piping system. Inspect theoutside combustion air inlet for block and debris monthly.Page | 14

FLOOR PROTECTION• This wood stove requires a non‐combustible floor protector if the stove is to be installed on acombustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already non‐combustible (i.e. aconcrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is needed (although a decorative floor protectorcan still be used for aesthetic reasons).• When using any floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy but will induce heatingand cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage tile and loosen mortar and grout jointslocated near the stove.• The floor protector should be UL approved or equivalent and must be noncombustible with an Rvalue of 0.5. Since the majority of the heat from this unit is radiant, the floor protector not onlyserves to keep ashes and sparks from landing on combustible flooring near the unit but alsoprotects the combustible floor from the heat of the unit. A hearth rug is NOT an approvedsubstitute for a proper hearth pad.• For the US: The floor protector must extend at least 16 in. from the front of the fuel opening, 8 in.from the sides of the door opening and 8 in. from the rear of the unit.• For Canada: The floor protector must extend at least 450.0 mm from the front of the fuel opening,200.0 mm from the sides of the door opening and 200.0 mm from the rear of the unit.US: 8.0 in.CANADA: 200.0 mm.US: 8.0 in.CANADA: 200.0 mm.US: 8.0 in.CANADA: 200.0 mm.US: 16.0 in.CANADA: 450.0 mm.• The non‐combustible floor protector must extend 2 in. (50.8 mm.) on either side of any horizontalventing runs and extend directly underneath any vertical venting pipe.• Please see the following page for instructions on calculating R values, to be certain that theplanned floor protection is adequate for this stove.CAUTIONNEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE‐TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCHLIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE. ADDITIONALLY, NEVER APPLY FIRE‐STARTER TO ANY HOT SURFACE OR EMBERS IN THE STOVE.Page | 15

FLOOR PROTECTIONR Value CalculationAn easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements isto follow this procedure:1) Convert specification to R‐value:i R‐value is given – no conversion is neededii k‐factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R = 1/k x Tiii C‐factor is given: R = 1/C2) Determine the R‐value of the proposed alternate floor protector:i Use the correct formula given in step 1 (above) to convert values not expressed as“R.”ii For multiple layers, add R‐values of each layer to determine overall R‐value.3) If the overall R‐value of the system is greater than the R‐value of the specified floorprotector, the alternate is acceptable.EXAMPLE:The specified floor protector should be ¾” thick material with a k‐factor of 0.84. Theproposed alternate is 4” brick with a C‐factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a k‐factor of 0.29.Step (a):Step (b):Use formula above to convert specification to R‐value.R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893Calculate R of proposed system.4” brick of C = 1.25, therefore R brick = 1/C =1/1.25 = 0.801/8” mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431Total R = R brick + R mineral board = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231Step (c): Compare proposed system of R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposedsystem R is greater than required, the system is acceptable.Definitions:Thermal conductance = C = _____Btu____ = ____W____(hr)(ft 2 )(deg F) (m 2 )(deg K)Thermal conductivity = k = __(Btu)(inch)__ = ___W____ = ____Btu____(hr)(ft 2 )(deg F) (m)(deg K) (hr)(ft)(deg F)Thermal resistance = R = (ft 2 )(hr)(deg F) = (m 2 )(deg K)BtuWPage | 16

OPERATIONBreak‐In Fires• This wood burning unit is constructed of heavy gauge steel and cast iron and is built to last along time. However, in order to ensure no excessive thermal stresses are induced on the metalduring the first fire, three break‐in fires should be burned, each one slightly hotter than the last.These break‐in fires will not only help the stove body acclimate to the high temperatures of thefire, but will also slowly cure the high temperature stove paint, which will ensure the highquality finish lasts for years.• This stove has a single air control rod which regulates the wood burn rate; when the primary aircontrol slide is pulled all the way out of the unit, the stove will burn more slowly and put outheat over a longer time period. Conversely, when the air control slide is pushed all the way in,the unit will burn more quickly and put out a larger amount of heat over a relatively shortertime period. Do not attempt to modify the range of air control adjustment for any reason.• The first break‐in fire should be just a large kindling fire, getting the stove to about 300°F asmeasured by a magnetic thermometer on the right or left side of the stove, above the door.Once this temperature has been reached, allow the fire to die out with the air control open. Thesecond and third break‐in fires should be a bit larger, with some small dry splits added to thekindling load. The temperature goal during these fires is about 350°F – 450°F; don’t let the fireget hotter than that.Continuous Operation• After the break‐in fires are complete, this unit is ready for continuous operation. When burningthe stove continuously, do not allow ash and coals to accumulate higher than 1.0” below thedoor opening. Excessive coaling is often a result of burning wood at too high a burn rate, andthe coal bed should be allowed to burn down before reloading the stove with fresh wood.• Combustion air is delivered to the stove at two locations: The majority of the primarycombustion air enters the firebox via the air‐wash system which keeps the glass clean and feedsthe primary combustion flames on the top surfaces of the wood; some primary combustion air isbled off into the coal bed via bleed holes in the bottom rail of the air‐wash system. Every effortmust be taken to maintain the area in front of these holes free of ash.• When loading the stove for a long term burn, it is most useful to rake a “v” in the center of thecoal bed, to allow the primary air bleed holes to push air all the way to the rear of the unit.• After loading the stove with a full firebox of fresh wood, it is important to operate the unit withthe air control in the full open position to properly char the wood load and drive off the initialmoisture in the fresh wood. Once the wood has been properly charred and is completelyignited, the air control can then be set to the desired heat output level.In the event of a creosote or soot fire (chimney fire), close the air control on thestove, contact the local fire department and get out! Do not throw water on the fire!Contact your local fire authority for more information on how to handle a chimneyfire and develop a safe evacuation plan for you and your family in the event of achimney fire.Page | 17

OPERATION• England’s Stove Works, Inc. always recommends the use of a magnetic stove thermometer, sothat the temperature of the unit can be monitored. When using a magnetic stove thermometer,locate the thermometer above the door on either the left or right side of the stove and use thefollowing temperatures as rough guidelines to determine the burn rate and heat output level ofthe stove:o Normal wood stove operation should occur between 350°F (177°C) and 550°F (288°C),with 350°F (177°C) to 450°F (232°C) being a low to medium heat output level and 450°F(232°C) to 550°F (288°C) being a medium to high heat output level. Operating the stoveat 600°F (316°C) would be considered the maximum continuous operating temperaturepermissible and unit damage may result from operating at that high of a burn rate forextended time periods. Allowing the unit to reach 650°F (343°C) or higher is defined asover‐firing and will result in unit damage.• The optional room air convection blower was designed to extract the maximum amount of heatfrom the stove, for the highest possible heat transfer into the room. Since the blower is soefficient at removing heat from the unit, it is very important to only operate the room air blowerafter a fresh wood load has been allowed to burn for at least thirty (30) minutes. Allowing afresh load of wood to burn without the blower on ensures that the entire unit reaches properoperation temperatures and that the secondary combustion system is functioning properly.Additionally, follow the guidelines below for acceptable blower speeds.• When using the optional room air convection blower (Part No. AC‐16), the blower should beoperated as follows depending on heat output level:Burn rate High Medium High Medium Medium Low LowBlower Speed High Low Low Low OffCreosote – Formation and Need for RemovalWhen wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, whichcombine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vaporscondense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow‐burning fire. As a result,creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosotemakes an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney connector should beinspected at least once every two months during the heating season todetermine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, itshould be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.DO NOT USE GRATE OR ELEVATE FIRE – BUILD WOOD FIRE DIRECTLY ON HEARTHDO NOT OPERATE WITH THE MAIN DOOR OPEN – OPERATING THE STOVE WITH THE MAINDOOR OPEN WILL CREATE AN OVER‐FIREPage | 18

Page | 20MAINTENANCEDaily Maintenance• Inspect the firebox for ash accumulation; remove excess ash and follow instructionsbelow regarding disposal. Ash should not be allowed to accumulate in the stove to thepoint that it covers the coal bed air inlets.Monthly Maintenance• Check the blower for dust accumulation (if installed); check the door handle for properoperation and to be certain an airtight seal is still being made by the door.• Inspect the chimney system and chimney connector and sweep if necessary. Althoughcleaning may be required less than monthly, ALWAYS inspect the venting systemmonthly to decrease the chance of a chimney fire.• Visually inspect the vermiculite insulating boards in the firebox for cracks and/orbreakage. Slight surface cracks will not affect the performance of the boards, butcracked or crumbling boards should be replaced immediately.• Visually inspect the secondary combustion tubes for cracks, warping and corrosion.Although these tubes are constructed from stainless steel, they operate at very hightemperatures and can eventually wear out from normal use.Yearly Maintenance• Check all gaskets (window and door) for wear and to be certain they still maintain anairtight seal. See the following page for instructions.• Thoroughly clean the chimney system and the chimney connector system. Since thechimney connector is generally exposed to high exhaust temperatures, inspect itcarefully for leaks and weak spots; replace any questionable pieces. [In the case ofstraight through the roof chimney system, be certain to remove the vermiculite bafflebefore pushing the chimney sweeping brush down into the firebox. Forcefully hittingthe top of the baffle with a cleaning brush or rod can damage or destroy the baffle.]• Remove all ash from the stove, including the ash which accumulates on the top of thefirebox baffles. Leave the air control open during the non‐heating months to allowsome air to flow through the stove to help prevent corrosion. A small open container ofcat litter in the stove can help prevent corrosion during the humid summer months; becertain to remove it before building a fire in the fall.IMPROPER GASKET MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING FAILURE TO REPLACE GASKETS, CANCAUSE AIR LEAKS RESULTING IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE UNIT.Disposal of Ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Theclosed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, wellaway from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of byburial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed containeruntil all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

MAINTENANCEInspecting GasketsAn airtight seal at the door opening is crucial to proper stove performance. Any air leakageat this area can cause an over‐fire situation and is therefore a serious safety threat. Because ofthis, gaskets should always be maintained in good condition. Gasket tightness can be checkedusing the “dollar‐bill” method:• Place a dollar bill between the gasket and the stove body (at the location where thegasket meets the stove).• Tighten the latching mechanism down and attempt to pull the dollar bill out. If thedollar bill slides in and out easily, the gasket needs to be replaced. This test should berepeated around the entire gasket perimeter, as gaskets will sometimes seal tightly onone side, but will be worn and seal poorly on another side.• Perform this test around the entire perimeter of the door, and visually inspect thewindow gasket for any leaks. Leaks in the window gasket can generally be located byfollowing the prevailing soot trails left on the window after burning the unit.• If any area fails the test, the entire gasket should be replaced. The part numberappropriate to the gasket being replaced can be found in the “Illustrated Parts” sectionof this manual.• Gaskets should only be replaced with equivalent fiberglass gaskets purchased fromEngland’s Stove Works ® specifically for this unit.Gaskets1. Door ‐ This unit comes with a 5 / 8 ” rope gasket around the door that should be replacedat least every two years. To replace the door gasket (Part # AC‐DGKNC), the old gasketmust first be removed entirely — prior to adding the new adhesive, you may have toscrape the old cement from the door channel. Once the cement and gasket have beenadded, the door should be closed and latched for twenty‐four hours to allow the cementto harden.2. Window ‐ If you are replacing the window gasket (Part # AC‐GGK), the new gasket willalready have adhesive on one side. First, remove the old gasket. Next, remove thepaper on the adhesive side and place the gasket around the outside edge of the glass,centered over the edge. Fold the gasket edges over on the glass, forming a “U” shape.FinishThis new unit has been painted with High‐Temperature Paint that should retain itsoriginal look for years. If the unit should get wet and rust spots appear, the spots can be sandedwith fine steel wool and repainted. It is crucial that only High‐Temperature Spray Paint is used(Part # AC‐MBSP), as others may not adhere to the surface or withstand the high temperatures.Similarly, some brands of paint will not adhere to different brands of paint, so we highlyrecommend using our proprietary High‐Temperature Spray Paint.Page | 21

The stove is constructed with rear and top convection channelswhich allow the room air blower to pick up heat from the hottest regions of the stove andtransfer it into the home. The mounting screws for the blower are installed into the rearconvection channel at the factory; mounting the blower only requires a 5/16” open end orsocket wrench to remove these screws and install the blower. When routing the power cord,take care to keep away from hot areas of the unit and remember that this blower is for use onlywith the stove. Please see the diagram below for clarification on the room air blowerinstallation.(4) 5/16” head, self tappingscrews (pre‐installed in unit).WarningDisconnect theelectrical power fromthe fan beforeinstallation.The optional heat circulation blower on this stove requires periodic lubrication; this lubricationshould be performed no less than every three months of normal operation. To properly lubricate theblower, use an eye dropper or similar dispensing device to drip 5-7 droplets of SAE 20 oil into thePageoil port| 24on the side of the blower motor.
